Bench Day #15. Remax day.

Started with a 5 mile run, then some push ups, rings rows and pump strength to warm up the chest and shoulders.

My max before the current cycle was #145. First time doing bench since 2016 when I had achieved #195.

Today, after just 14 workouts in the cycle I benched #175!

Just finished my morning run. 5 miles at an 11:03 pace. Came in under an hour. That was my current goal. Next up I’m going to use a slow 5 mile run as my base training but start adding shorter but faster runs in. Building up to a sub 30 5k.

Now down to the basement to do a short lift. Benchpress 5-3-1 at 80-85-90% of max. Session 13 out of 15 for the current cycle. Schedule permitting, I’ll be remaxxing towards the end of the week!

Nearly done for the day. I attended a functional fitness group today. Basically CrossFit without the branding or the coaches. Ran to the group and home afterwards. Group meets several times a week. I’m considering joining them regularly.

Of course today was leg day there, so the run home SUCKED and was honestly as much walking as running. I will probably plan to do my entire run before class in the future so I can just drive there and back. No jelly legs on the way home that way.

Still got to push out some bench press this afternoon. Planned 5x5 @ 125#.

Same route as yesterday, but about 4 1/2 minutes faster.

I’m not doing specific speed workouts or anything like that. Just running increasingly longer distances and running a pace that feels comfortable for the day. More focused training will start coming later after I lose some more weight.

Finished out my afternoon with a few games of bowling. Trying to make some measurable progress before league starts up again. I feel like I am making some progress. It’s hard to tell sometimes.

High game today was 158.

Another day, another run with some strength added in.

Run: ~37 minutes
Bench Press: 5x5 @ 70% + 20lbs (115#)

Next will, I’ll be adding in a second strength item. Either deadlifts or power cleans. TBD.

I also plan to benchmark my back squat next week so I can start building that in in the coming weeks.

Tried a new #running route today. Despite the heat, it still felt really good.

Run: ~3 miles
Weightlifting: Benchpress 5x5 @ 70%

@intothetilian : then it is a perfect opportunity to create a nice dynamic/community.

For French readers, it happened with the hashtag #mastolivre

Maybe Mastodon is waiting for you to create #Mastofit, #Mastogym or #Liftodon ? ;-)

Another mini iron man ticked off. ✅💪🏻
It’s not the lighting, I’m always that colour after a workout.

One of my clients is trying to focus more on strength as opposed to just weight loss at any cost.

She sent me this DM yesterday.

It filled me with joy.

Weight loss is often the reason your insecurities exist, if you move onto a path more like my client here, then you will be surprised how quickly you move away from being imprisoned by your insecurity.

You find freedom. Get strong always.

Minds full of thoughts on differing subjects, but for now, no more thinking, now only sweating on the #treadmill! #MastoFit
